Vladimir Putin followed the actions of Canadian leader Justin Trudeau and began arresting peaceful protesters across Mother Russia on Thursday.
This comes as the Russian military invasion of Ukraine continues.
Last week tyrannical Canadian leader Justin Trudeau trampled protesters in Ottawa and froze the bank accounts of thousands of opposition members.
On Thursday the Putin regime announced that protesters would be arrested.
Russia’s interior ministry tells TV viewers to “refrain from unsanctioned protests” & or they’ll be “arrested & brought to responsibility.”
That’s because there are “coronavirus restrictions, including on public events.”

Putin also sent out his jackboots to quash any protests in Moscow on Thursday night.
Police on the streets of Moscow, Russia tonight. A protest has been called against Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine. It is unsanctioned and police are clearly ready to use force against protesters. pic.twitter.com/xsqOpA3rhQ
